TY....TY...TY for the bday wishes once again. And I made the 100th post and on my bday at that. Could it be a sign... I have a headache I can't seem to get rid of. It sucks when you go to sleep with one and wake up and it is still freaking there. It might be my sugar because with all the fussing about my hiv meds, I forgot to take my dapsone and diabetic meds last night..It also feels like I may have an abcess by the root of my tooth or something, my jaw is slightly swollen on the right side. Not sure what I can do about it. Not sure I wanna call the dentist because he might say something needs to get pulled even though I don't have any cavities.

Christy, Sorry you and the baby are sick. I like the dragons you have. Every time I try to get more eggs, it says the server is too busy. I guess folks caught on to the beginning of the hour thing.

Dragonette, Welcome back from vacation and I hope you get better soon.

Since I made the 100th post, will someone step up to start a new dating thread....I'm gonna close here because my head is trying to pound again. Much love ladies....

Happy New Year Gals.Am so happy for all of you cos of your determination to have the bestin life.I want to encourage you to keep it up in whatever you do.I have been rather lonely but looking forward to meeting someone .LOL

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
